Hernandez (hip) is expected to return from the injured list sometime next week, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Hernandez began a rehab assignment Wednesday, and he'll appear in games at Double-A Portland on Friday and Saturday. He'll rest Sunday and Monday but will be in the mix to rejoin the Red Sox as early as Tuesday, when the team begins a three-game series in Pittsburgh.
